About This Quote

In the above scenario, it is clear that my injury is of little importance to my friend. At first he seems annoyed by my concern for my injuries, but once I mention that it will be solved by my mother's presence, he is completely indifferent. How can we blame him? Think about how we would feel if we were injured and we knew someone would come and do something about it? The reason we care about our injuries and the reasons why people care about their injuries is because they matter to us.
